JAI unveils multi-tiered camera suite
-- Test & Measurement World, 1/21/2008 9:00:00 AM
In addition to introducing four digital progressive-scan CCD cameras, JAI expands the Core Camera Concept (C3) suite, a three-tiered range of cameras that gives users the ability to easily switch from camera to camera, and from tier to tier, depending on their application and environmental needs.
The four newly launched digital cameras belong to the C3 Compact family, an entry-level series with a small form factor and a single-tap, high-frame-rate architecture. The CM-140GE and CB-140GE deliver 1.4-Mpixel resolution (1392X1040 pixels) in monochrome and raw Bayer color, respectively. The CM200GE and CB200GE offer 2-Mpixel resolution (1628X1236 pixels) in monochrome and raw Bayer color, respectively. The CM-140GE and CB-140GE operate at 31 fps, while the CM-200GE and CB-200GE run at a rate of 25 fps. All four cameras provide partial scanning and binning modes, as well as GigE Vision and Gen/Cam digital interfaces, in a 29X44X75-mm housing.
JAI’s Core Camera Concept (C3) suite now includes two additional product tiers: Basic and Advanced. The C3 Basic tier covers cameras with single or multi-tap imagers and expanded thermal management. The C3 Advanced tier offers the highest performing models, with a broad range of built-in preprocessing functions, resolutions of up to 16 Mpixels, and multi-tap, 2-CCD and 3-CCD architectures. All three camera tiers share the same control and configuration methods and integrate quickly and simply with all applications.
